Countdown - worst ever letters game

Worst game where points were actually recorded + includes Nick Hewer dissing Rachel Riley. MIAMI and FIJI are ineligible as they are proper nouns.

Avis is the Latin word for bird, so "avium" roughly means "of bird" as in the wild cherry (prunus avium) named after birds eating them.

@@KirbyGamingLive Jam and mum. I got Fiji but it's not a word that you can use and i'm not sure mum is either.

[@enthusedtosing9655]

That was worth the watch. And kudos for this "avium", even if it's not an English word

[@csgollum]

Wow! I got both JAM and AVIUM. Didn't know if that second one was a word though. I would have gone with JAM too... But well done, Rachel!

[@The5thPillar_27]

Still not as bad as Sean with his dartboard round 😂

[@delilh325]

MVMFIUIAJ, it's already a word

[@nightfallalicorn4246]

I spent 5 minutes looking at the thumbnail, before watching the video, and went for "jam" as well.

[@WxB2001]

I miss when Susie used an actual dictionary to find if the words exist.

[@sanny8716]

Wait, so how does she do it now?

[@WxB2001]

@@sanny8716 She uses a computer. I imagine she goes on a website where you can type in an anagram and once all the letters are typed in you get a list of all the words you can make out of those letters. Then whatever word the contestants get Suzie just needs to type it in to see if it pops up or not.

Shame they missed the undiscovered chemical element, MAFIJIUM

[@Wimpoman]

It actually already is a word: good morning, that's a nice Mvmfiuiaj.

I got a 3: mum.

[@deanmoncaster]

Jam!! Beat that eggheads!

[@Jowen0wen]

It actually already is a word "Mvmfiuiaj" as in "Good morning, that's a nice mvmfiuiaj"

[@adrianv.v.4445]

The only thing I got in time is Umami, which is at least better than my previous word, mum xd

I like that these contestants actually address the card presenter kindly by name ,instead of ones that just yell at them not even acknowledging them. ie: Wheel of fortune / most American game shows

[@cosmicsprint]

I think it's because they do more than just present the cards. Rachel does the maths problems, and Susie does the words. But overall, including them adds to the entertainment (it would be interesting to see the same on the US shows, rather than just the host and contestant interacting)

[@craigsbenedict2684]

@@cosmicsprint good call

[@smiIeyface]

Also she gets more time to shine in the cats countdown, so I think fans would be mad if she was treated like that since we've seen more of her.
